PERFORMANCE IN MAGNETIC FIELDS:
Figure 2 shows the remarkable performance of the R0-600 in high magnetic fields. With a temperature error of less than ±1.6%, a simple linear formula allows correction of any apparent temperature, measured in a field up to 16 Tesla, to the actual temperature. This result may extend to higher fields, and is useful for a broad temperature range down to 36mK. It is independent of the orientation of the sensor in the magnetic field.
Since errors in temperature for uncalibrated thermometers, in any magnetic field up to 16 Tesla, accumulate to only a few percent, the R0-600 is exceedingly useful in most low temperature applications, and is versatile enough to use in most low temperature environments.
